I had the pleasure of meeting up with Tim Eads recently and spent a good part of the afternoon talking shop and getting to see some of his recent work, as well as some in-progress pieces. Tim's practice includes sculpture, works on paper, printmaking, and interactive installation. This year, Tim's work was selected as part of the West Collects competition and his work will be included in upcoming shows, including "Switched On Garden" (with collaborator, Austen Brown), a one-day art and sound event taking place in historic Bartram's Garden in Philadelphia on October 14th. Tim Eads will also have work in the Centennial Juried Exhibition at the Delaware Art Museum beginning October 20th.
